The steps go up each Friday for the next 6-8 weeks. Friends have made super quilts with Bonnie Hunter's annual mystery quilt patterns, and the weekly format suits me right now. So here's step 1: 192 four patch blocks using the lighter background fabric and the cheerful 'constant' fabric.
When was the last time I made a quilt that wasn't my own design? Years? Years and years! It's kinda peaceful, just following instructions .... For now, when all else is so busy.
I do like both these fabrics. Happy happy.

PS. I linked to this blog entry at Quiltville's first linky for Easy Street. See my previous blog entry for my fabric choices.
PPS. The lighter fabric is Darls by Tanya Whelan/Grand Revival for Free Spirit. The turquoise blue cherries fabric is from Denyse Schmidt, Daisy Mae collection (2011). I like tossing modern-coloured Victorian flourishes against funky retro forties/fifties style! - it's working!
PPPS. Thanks for the kind comments! - very much appreciated.

Woah! I love LUV that print with the orange.
Love your cherries fabric. Can't wait to see your quilt progress.
I love both of those fabrics. Very cheery!
You are so brave, love those colors! Such a great print. Happy Quilting!
That's areally snazzy print you are using. I love it when Mystery Quilters add their own layer of mystery!
Nice colours,very different from all the others, have fun with the mystery. I will check in at your blog to see the progress when you use these kind of colours/prints.
